  3. Hämeenkatu

    Cobbled Hämeenkatu is Tampere's broad main street, running east-west from the train station to Hämeenpuisto, and it's along (or just off) here that you'll find most of the city's top restaurants, cafés, bars and the kauppatori (market square), where you can sample Tampere's scary speciality, mustamakkara (blood sausage). Also here is the kauppahalli (market hall), but in Tampere it's indistinguishable from the rest of the streetscape.
